Thors Helmet

I agree with all the comments - a nice bright image showing lots of good detail! What length subs did you take for this?

A very thought provoking image - Awesome !!

Thanks for that. It does show the forces at work quite clearly.

Thanks David. 10 minutes as I used a guide scope and was limited by that.

Thanks Louie. I am in the process of going through adapter world to attach an OAG to this setup. Its not easy as the Planewave reducer has practically no back focus.

I did some enhancement processing on this image this morning. Star repair and some (I hope) non destructive sharpening/contrast/detail enhancement.

It now has even more detail.

Outstanding!

Sorry Greg, I think you have gone too far with the sharpening. Also looks like you used some heavy noise reduction too. Bit plastic for me now. Each to their own though.

You may be right. Its easy to go too far. I've restored to the earlier version.
